Deng put on his coat, put his hair in a bun, and dressed neatly. Then he took Deng Zhan to the door of Zhang Xiu's room. She stepped forward, reached for her hand, knocked on the door, and said in a soft voice, "prefect Zhang!"
Zhang Xiu heard the cry and stood on guard.
He didn't know what the situation was.
After a cry, Deng said again, "the old lady has something to ask for. Please open the door."
"Just a moment!"
Zhang Xiu returned, his left hand holding the sword hanging at his waist, went to the door and opened the door sideways. Seeing Deng Shi and Deng Zhan, Zhang Xiu was on guard and said, "old lady, what's the matter?"
"Plop!"
Deng lifted up his robe and knelt down. Looking at Deng Zhan standing on one side, he yelled: "villain, don't kneel down!"
Deng Zhan had no choice but to kneel down.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Xiu stepped back to get out of the way. She looked puzzled and asked, "what does the old lady mean?"
"I don't know about it," Deng explained. "Just now, the old lady found that there was a noise outside the house. When she got up, she found that it was Deng Zhan, her youngest son, who had come back."
"He came into the room, holding a dagger, and was prying the door of the prefect."
"After the old lady stopped him, she took him to the room to ask, and learned that he had been ordered to assassinate Zhang Taishou."
"The killing of Xiongnu by Zhang Taishou is praised by everyone."
"Although the old lady doesn't know a big word and doesn't know poetry, her conscience is still there. But no one with conscience should come to assassinate Zhang Taishou, but my son should not assassinate Zhang Taishou for the sake of money. "
Deng kowtowed his head to the ground and said, "Deng Zhan is guilty. The old lady is here. Please punish him."
Deng Zhandao said: "Tai Shou Zhang, this is what I do alone. It has nothing to do with my mother."
Zhang Xiu a listen, suddenly understand.
Previously, it was Deng Zhan who pried the door.
Later, when Deng heard the sound, he came out and called Deng Zhan away. When he asked about the situation, he brought Deng Zhan to make amends. Looking at Deng Zhan's manner, we should be reluctant. It must be Deng's demand.
After Zhang Xiu thought clearly, she felt deeply about Deng's family tradition.
Although he is a rough man, he is simple and kind.
It's not easy.
In troubled times, human nature has been lost and morality has been destroyed. However, it is not easy for Deng to be old, have principles, and uphold justice.
Zhang Xiu said: "old lady, get up quickly. Mr. Deng, get up and talk. Now that it's open, it's nothing. This time I went south to Xiangyang, it was not smooth. It's not unusual to be assassinated. "
But Deng shook his head and said, "please allow the old lady a request, and the old lady will get up."
Zhang Xiu said, "you say it!"
Deng said: "please, old lady, take zhan'er. He said that he was in Xiangyang City, serving as a door guest for powerful people. It seems that he was acting for others by virtue of his martial arts skills. Zhang Tai Shou is a great hero and a good man. Please accept my son and give him a right path. "
"This..."
Zhang Xiu raised her eyebrows and looked strange.
Which one is this?
Deng Zhan came to assassinate him. Unexpectedly, he finally developed to this stage.
Seeing that Zhang Xiu didn't agree immediately, Deng got anxious and said: "my son has been practicing martial arts since he was a child. He is very good at gun dancing. His martial arts are very good, enough to serve as the guard of Zhang Taishou. I'd like to ask for Zhang's kindness and give zhan'er a chance. Mr. Zhang, my son is very filial. No matter how bad a loyal and filial person is, he can't be worse. Take him. "
Looking at Deng Zhan, Zhang Xiu's mind opened.
Deng Zhan listened to her mother's words, otherwise he would not have come to assassinate him, but he knelt down and apologized.
Deng Zhan is indeed filial.
As for Deng Zhan's ability, Zhang Xiu didn't know. He didn't respond immediately. He said again, "old lady, if you have something to say, get up and talk first."
Deng stubbornly shook his head, said: "if Zhang Taishou does not agree, the old lady will not get up."
Zhang Xiu thought about it and said, "I've agreed to the old lady's request. It's just that if I want to, it depends on Mr. Deng's opinion. As the saying goes, it's hard to make a change. If Mr. Deng doesn't want to, he won't be able to follow me. What's more, if you want to follow me, you will be subject to a lot of constraints and have to abide by various laws and regulations, which is unacceptable to many people. "
"My son can accept it," Deng said
She returned a word for Deng Zhan, then looked at Deng Zhan again and said, "zhan'er, thank you, Zhang Taishou."
"I, I..."
However, Deng Zhan hesitated.
Anyway, he is a famous ranger in Xiangyang City. If you let him out, many people will follow him.
It can be said that all kinds of responses are well received.
But now, he is forced by my mother to submit to Zhang Xiu, and he is reluctant.
Deng's face sank down and said, "what are you doing? It's a blessing for you to accept you. Do you dare to accept you? ""You go to Xiangyang for a few years, and your wings are hard. You don't listen to your mother."
"Good, very good!"
"As a child, my mother will tell you to be an upright person. You see, now you have collected money to kill such a good man as Zhang Taishou. As soon as I think of it, my mother feels heartache. I knew I shouldn't let you go far away. "
With that, Deng's tears came.
When Deng Zhanyi saw this, he was immediately flustered and said: "mother, I'm willing to, I'm willing to follow Zhang Taizhou."
Zhang Xiu is funny in her eyes.
In front of the outside, Deng is warm-hearted, kind-hearted and very good. In the face of such officials as Liu Wang, he swallowed his anger and was unwilling to add trouble to his son.
It's her son's turn to be strict, hoping that he can go on a good road.
Everything is for my son.
Hearing Deng Zhan's words, Deng's face brightened with joy and put away his tears: "since I have agreed, I will swear to prove it. In this life, you will follow Zhang Taishou to the death and never leave. If you break this oath, the whole family will not die well. "
Deng Zhan's face changed greatly, and the oath was too poisonous.
But before he opened his mouth, he saw my mother's eyes, which seemed to be full of tears. His heart suddenly softened. He raised his right hand and swore: "heaven is above, thick soil is below. I, Deng Zhan, swear to follow Zhang Taizhou all my life. If you break this oath, the whole family will not die well. "
"Good, good!"
Deng's old face, showing a bright smile.
Then she stood up.
Deng Zhan then got up, looked at Zhang Xiu and said, "Deng Zhan, I'd like to meet you."
When Zhang Xiu saw Deng Zhan vow, she let her heart down. It's just that he is happy to see Deng's face, but Deng Zhan is very happy to see Deng's face.
He looked back and said, "Deng Zhan, since you are willing to surrender, I will accept you. Although, this is to see in your mother's face, accepted you. But I hope you can show your ability. I don't want to raise useless people. "
Deng Zhan held his head high and said confidently: "Deng Zhan will live up to the great expectations of his master, and will let him see his ability."
"I'll see!"
Zhang Xiu nodded.
When he was thinking about Deng Zhan, he suddenly said, "Deng Zhan, where is your ancestral home?"
He thought of Deng Zhan in history.
Historically, Deng Zhan was born in Nanyang and a swordsman. He left a pen in the history books, which was a sword contest with Cao Pi, but he was easily defeated by Cao Pi.
Deng Zhan looked respectful and replied, "I'm a humble native of Nanyang. After my father died, my mother brought my brother, sister and I to live here."
Zhang Xiu laughed in her heart.
Unexpectedly, he even accepted a historical celebrity.
Although Deng Zhan does not have a strong sense of existence in history, he has his own unique features in leaving a legacy in history books.
Deng stood aside and said, "zhan'er, who is going to assassinate Zhang Taishou?"
Deng Zhan shook his head and replied, "we just collect money to do business. We don't know who is the person who wants to kill Zhang Taishou? And this time I didn't kill Zhang, I have to go back to Xiangyang to deal with it, otherwise it's easy to leave trouble. "
Zhang Xiu said: "I'm not worried about going to Xiangyang this time. You can go to Xiangyang first and deal with your own affairs well. When I leave Xiangyang, you will follow me north. "
"Thank you
Deng Zhan gave thanks.
After hearing this, Deng said nothing more and left the room with Deng Zhan to let Zhang Xiu have a rest earlier.
